Faraday Porteur bicycle.

My cycling-crazy boyfriend has been gently nudging me to get a bike for the last year. He's finally wearing me down, so cool bikes are actually starting to catch my eye.

If I win the lottery, I want one of these. I wish it wasn't the price of a small, used car.

Despite its extraordinary capabilities (it’s electric!), we designed the Faraday
Porteur to look and ride just like a familiar, high-quality bicycle. The Faraday Porteur looks and feels
like a premium city bike, but it performs in a class of its own. Most
importantly, the Faraday lets you work as much, or as little, as you
want. Want to get there without breaking a sweat? No problem.
Want to break a sweat AND break your record time? You can do that too.
Faraday goes where you go, no matter what your mood or what your
destination.

Inspired by the classic European delivery bikes of the 1940’s and 50’s and
updated with state-of-the-art components and construction techniques, the
award-winning Faraday Porteur allows novice and experienced riders alike to go
farther, faster, with ease. It’s impossible to tell it’s electric until you
ride it – and then it’s impossible to imagine riding anything else.
